Troubleshooting a Philco 47-1230
#1

I am trying to troubleshoot a 47-1230 radio. I have a copy of a manual of some sorts for it but I have a couple questions if anyone out there can help it would be appreiated. I am fairly new at troubleshooting old electronics so I hope my questions arent to dumb, but here goes. First, I was hoping someone might have a better manual or schematic than what I have. The one I have doest show how much voltage the transformers should put out. Also, in the Section 2 troublshooting it says to use a signal generator and use an output that is required for each step but I find no where that it tells me what it should be set to for these steps. Third, the instructions say to check voltages in section one and that they use a meter that is 20,000 ohms per volt, if I use my Fluke meter will it give me the correct voltage or is that a special meter they had long ago? Thanks for anyones help and if they have any and all info(a better manual etc) I would be very appreciative if I could get a copy. Thanks, Warren
